In the foreground, the riverbank is lined with trees and bushes, while the background features a hazy sky. The overall mood of the painting is one of calmness and tranquility. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume, adds depth to the painting.
